Scientists have proposed a new design for independent PV-water pump systems for solar energy, using an intervening supercapacitor buffer to temporarily save solar energy and to release them in powerful pulses. Daily water productivity has grown by 64%, based on a simulation. An experimental setup was also tested. February 17, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the LVIV Polytechnic National University in Ukraine have presented a new design for independent solar PV -Water pump systems (SPVWPSS) that are reportedly achieved higher efficiency. Although traditional SPVWPSS with direct drive is not very efficient due to fluctuations in solar radiation, the team has…
The Chinese Perovskiet Solar cell and Modulemaker said that the customized with double glass of perovskiet modules with double glass measuring measures of 1,200 mm x 1,000 mm and achieving a light transit of around 40%reach. February 17, 2025 Vincent Shaw The Chinese perovskiet cell maker Micrquanta Semiconductor has supplied his solar modules for what it claims to be the world’s largest building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) project based on perovskite solar panels. The company said it has tailor -made the system for the structural and environmental conditions of the building, guaranteeing the reliable operation, even in the hard winter climate of…
From PV Magazine 02/25 At the end of 2024, the US authorities claimed that the Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani, together with other senior employees, was involved in a scheme to pay bribes to protect power supply contracts in India, making investors in the United States mislead. Adani and some other colleagues remain in the United States and it is not clear how the situation will develop in 2025. The charges can hinder the attempts of Adani Group to attract capital, in particular internationally. Nevertheless, India’s leading integrated energy and infrastructure conglomerate said, which reported a strong year in 2024,…
A consortium supported by the State builds China’s first large -scale compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) project using a fully artificial underground cave, which marks an important step in the commercialization of technology. February 17, 2025 Vincent Shaw Image: Xinyang Construction Investment Group By ESS News A Consortium conducted by the State develops a 300 MW/1200 MWH Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) project in Xinyang, the province of Henan, with a fully artificial underground Cavern -China’s first of its kind. The CNY 2.15 billion ($ 300 million) project, supported by the local state-owned company Xinyang Construction Investment Group, CAES technology…
The Department of Energy of the Philippines says that his network program has added around 141 MW to the net since its foundation in 2015. February 14, 2025 Patrick Jowett Image: Titus_JR0, Pixabay Netto base Since 2015, 141 MW has contributed electricity to the grid in the Philippines, according to figures from the Ministry of Energy of the Land (Doe). The latest figures from the Doe show that renewable energy projects for own use generated at least an extra 252 MW between 2009 and 2024. According to the department, the capacity of renewable energy increased by 794.3 MW in 2024.…
Researchers in Germany have compared the electrical behavior of sodium ion batteries with that of lithium-iron phosphate batteries under different temperatures and state-of-loading. Their work shows how the advanced significantly influences the efficiency of Sodiumion devices while cycling. February 16, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and RWTH Aachen University in Germany have compared the electrical performance of energy batteries with high energy (SIBs) with those of a state-of-the-art high-energy lithium-ion battery (libs ) With a lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) cathode and have discovered that the state-of-caring and temperature have a higher influence on the pulse…
Cyprus limited 29% of its renewable energy in 2024, a record high that indicates the risks of the island’s energy transition. February 14, 2025 Ilias Tsagas Image: Brian Scott, Unsplash Cyprus record noise did not come as a surprise. A year ago, the local operator of the transmission grid predicted that the country should limit 28% of it Domestic renewable energy generation In 2024 due to the low seasonal demand and the need to keep the network stable. CyprusGrid, an energy analysis platform focused on Cyprus’s electricity sector, reported that 29% of the renewable electricity of the country was restricted…
In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineSolCast, a DNV company, reports that South America saw widespread above average irradiation in January, despite weak La Niña conditions. However, storm systems that are fed by Atlantic moisture oppressed the generation of solar energy in parts of Brazil and Bolivia. February 14, 2025 Dissolved South America saw above-average radiation in January, despite weak La Niña conditions. However, storm systems that are fed by Atlantic moisture oppressed the generation of solar energy in parts of Brazil and Bolivia. According to analysis using the Solcast APIRadiation varied from a maximum of 15% above average…
From PV Magazine 2/25 The imminent direct current (DC) voltage shift from the standard of the solar industry from 1.5 kV to 2 kV, such as the previous step of 600 V, promises cost savings and efficiency profit. It will again challenge PV manufacturers and developers, which must weigh technical progress and specialist products against economic viability. Some have already found the balance in favor of 2 kV. A 182 MW project, 2 kV was built in China in 2023 and at least one American pilot site was active in 2024. Why 2 kv? In principle, higher voltage makes more…
In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineOpis, a Dow Jones company, offers a quick look at the most important trends in the global PV industry. February 14, 2025 Opis The Chinese Modulemarker (CMM), the Opis Benchmark Assessment for Topcon modules from China dropped 1.12% at $ 0.084/W free-on-board (FOB) China, with price indications between $ 0.080-0.088/W. FOB China Mono Perc module prices followed the downward trend, and also dropped 1.12% at $ 0.084/W FOB China, with prices between $ 0.081-0.088/W.
